Ficus microcarpa, also known as Chinese banyan, Malayan banyan, Indian laurel, curtain fig, or gajumaru (ガジュマル),[4] is a tree in the fig family Moraceae. It is native in a range from China through tropical Asia and the Caroline Islands to Australia.[5] It is widely planted as a shade tree[6] and frequently misidentified as the Balete tree: F. retusa or F. nitida (syn. F. benjamina).[4]
